(I took the header picture of a Common Loon resting on a pond in Utah on its way north in June of 2015. It was in transition from winter to summer plumage.)
Translate - I dare you. Then make a comment on the funny errors the translator made.
This was funny. I have several notebooks of "poetry", from the time, as a young man, that I perceived myself a bard. I have the wisdom now to spare the world the horror.
Regarding MST3K, Joel and several others from the show have started a new gig, called Cinematic Titanic, that does live voice-overs of bad movies in theaters. But no robot puppets; there was a falling out during the last few years of the show and, alas, Joel, the creator of MST3K, no longer owns the rights. Here's a link:
That was great. It's a shame you can't remember more of that poem - the one about the booger - cos it's brilliant. I like the Screaming Skull. The Beast of Yucca Flats is probably the best movie ever made though. Thanks for showing me how to spell booger, as well. Jon.
I once entered a bad poetry contest on the internet, which was a much bigger deal back in 1996 than it is now. I think my poem was "Ode to the Sock I Found in My Fridge One Midsummer Morning," and I promptly forgot all about it until three years later, when a classmate of mine randomly discovered it, printed it out and posted it on the bulletin board in the dorms. Heh.
As for bad MS3TK-style movies, my heart belongs to "Manos: the Hands of Fate" and it always will.

Thanks for the refs, all. There's also _Kung Pow": Enter the Fist_ . . .
I actually saw _Manos: the Hands of Fate_ at Half Price Books once (hand over heart). I should have bought it.
Amiable fill someone in on and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you for your information.
Opulently I assent to but I think the collection should secure more info then it has.
Interesting blog as for me. I'd like to read more about that matter. Thanx for sharing that material.
